5.0 was deprecated so long ago, that it is beyond my knowledge. What exactly are you trying to do, step by step? Documentation for the Manager webapp is here: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/manager-howto.html#Deploy_A_New_Application_from_a_Local_Path There exist Ant and Maven front-ends (HTTP clients) for that API which are documented elsewhere. > But our deployment process needs it to be done via web interface. Why? What is your deployment process?
